Pantech PN-820
just got one, ok but some issues
had it a week so far. pretty cool altough i am not a computer guy so i don't know how to use half of it's capabilites so far. few observations and questions:
1. when in a call, and i press buttons for passwords and such, it clicks and pauses, very annoying, thinking it might be a bad phone?
2. can't turn on the speaker phone for the life of me. found the menu and select it and it never stays selected. also when i select other menu options like 'outdoor' sometimes it takes and sometimes it doesn't and reverts back to 'normal'.
3. ringer is way to quiet, but others have said it's too loud? std ringtones suck. added others myself through the browser, but when i select them, again, it doesn't take and picks one on it's own.

Alright well I can help you on most of those things:
1. This is not the case on my handset. It could be a bad unit, or maybe you have too many things running.
2. You have to turn speakerphone on during the call. There is no way to leave it on all the time, unless you select the speakerphone profile(see below). An easy way to turn it on during a call is to hold the "send key".
3. The ringer for the "normal" profile is not set to the full loudness. To access the profiles push down on the d-pad until you get to profile and push ok. You will see all the profiles listed here. Then highlight the profile which you want to edit and push the right soft key (menu) and press 1 (edit). Then you can change the settings.

wow, thanks! I checked the ringer and it's at loud already. then selected another ringtone, still goes back to default, same with type like 'outdoor', select it, it works, then magically goes back to normal. you are right on email, must not have set it up. the clicks and pauses are still present. going back to verizon to try another one. thanks for help though. ohhh, act is a contact management software, best i've used, and i've tried everything to sync it to no avail. even tried to convert act data to outlook which worked, but still couldn't even sync outlook either. i am such a non-techy, that i will be greatfull when we can talk to these darn things to get stuff done.
